About Brandon Andrews

Born and raised in MN we originally purchased this 2800 sq. ft. home in 2011. After many years of housing friends and family attending university we had been planning on selling and downsizing when a friend contacted us in need of help. A woman he knew needed a place to stay while her son received treatment and the Ronald McDonald house was full which is the only other option for struggling families with children. While staying with us she introduced us to the Vacation Rental idea knowing other travelers would love our home.

Why Brandon Andrews chose Rochester

We jumped at the chance to purchase this based on many factors. It has an unusually large footprint compared to the rest of the homes in the neighborhood. We loved that is was directly across from St. Francis Catholic church, and close to the bike trails and public parks that make Rochester so beautiful.

What makes this house unique

We live nearby so If you need something just ask! If we CAN help you we WILL help you.

Guestbook comments from the owner

I was extremely pleased to stay at Brandon's house for a few days. It was a short walk to the downtown Rochester area, and had everything you would need. Very spacious, gym in the basement, and a quiet back patio. I would absolutely recommend staying here, and will look to stay here again in my future visits to Rochester.

Great location, neat and tidy, cozy yet plenty of space for the four of us.

Great location, neat and tidy, cozy yet plenty of space for the four of us. Only con was the mattresses--two of the queens were sagging and uncomfortable for us. Thanks Brandon for offering this home to weary travelers!

Nice place to stay!

First, the good: The owners were exceptionally easy to work with and responded to my questions quickly. The house was comfortable and there were supplies available that we hadn't anticipated. The location is convenient to a grocery store (Cub Food), gas station (Shell), and is only about a mile or two away from Mayo Clinic.

The only bad thing that happened while we were there is that there was some loud brawl in the middle of the night in the driveway at the house across the street that resulted in the police coming. It kept us all awake and took a while to resolve. The second night that we were there was calmer but there were still loud people out in the street late at night. Not sure if this was a one-time thing or not, but I thought I would note it.

Great Family Home

Lovely place to stay! Fit our family including two doggies very well with lots of room. Had everything we needed, comfy beds and a easy short drive to downtown. Lots of dishes, towels and everything we needed for the kitchen. Dogs loved the gated backyard, wasnt able to use the firepit because of rain but seemed like a cozy spot. Would def recommend, great comfy home with lots of old character (including a piano, how cool!) wifi and cable worked great!

Homey vacation place

We were in town for a convention. The house worked out well for the two of us and one small dog. We didnt need the upstairs. The porch worked well for enjoying the evening, and the fenced back yard was great for the dog. The house was close to the Convention Center and restaurants. We would definitely consider returning.
